“Nightmare
and insanity are akin. Mysterious and involuntary states that skew
and distort objective reality. One wakens from nightmare: From
insanity there is no awakening. Whether Americans live in the one
state or the other is the paramount question of this era.

For
two hundred years Americans have been indoctrinated with the
mythology created imposed and sustained by a manipulating cabal. A
financial elite that built its absolute control on the muscle and
blood on the incredulity of its citizenry. It has now metastasized
into the corporate tyranny that owns and controls America.

America
began with a populated continent and the genocide of its people. Once
entrenched it embraced enslavement of another race. With those
pillars of state in place, it declared itself an independent nation;
in a testament that proclaimed the equality of all mankind. In that
monumental act of hypocrisy: America’s myth had its genesis.

A
constitution was written that came to be regarded as holy writ.

Designed
by men of wealth and prominence, it’s central purposes were to
defend private property and suppress mass democracy. It has fulfilled
those mandates beyond the dreams of its creators.

With
the existing oligarchies’ secure in law and the native people
largely exterminated, the ruling-class increased its wealth and power
fantastically in the nineteenth century. Using the government as its
enabler, exploiting to the limit chartered corporations. So empowered
the financial elite used the military to expand its sway beyond the
continent. Regions, territories, islands and whole countries were
annexed, invaded and possessed outright: Their peoples crushed,
oppressed and exploited, because ordinary Americans, like ordinary
people, need to believe that whatever the ruling class undertakes in
their name, must be benevolent; noble in purpose and justified in
fact: The American Myth had to be radically modified for Imperial
expansion. The foundational myth was that the Americans had come to a
howling wilderness, teeming with godless savages and through
invincible strength of character and purity of purpose had tamed the
land and honorably earned the right to possess their bountiful home.

In
the era of extra-territorial expansion that version was polished to
justify and ennoble imperialism. The new corollary was that America
was obliged by our manifest destiny to carry our mission into
barbaric darknes,s wherever tyranny created abuse and suffering. A
national myth that absolutely binds the loyalty of a people to its
government, must be a subtle and powerful elixir, that elevates an
aggrandizes that peoples self-regard. National policy will then
appear to be an extension of its superior citizenry’s inchoate will
and an instrument of justified arrogance, towards the lesser-world.

The
simple powerful myth of America’s heroic and altruistic
benevolence, shaped by the financial elite, infused Americans with a
hubristic in their racial superiority, that mobilized, and gave
imperialist enterprises the character of the quasi-religious crusade.
In this way insatiable-imperialism acquired the apparent moral
perfection of a syllogism.

With
WWII the world was reconfigured. American capitalism emerged supreme
from the horror that had virtually wrecked its capitalist-partners.
The Soviet Union though, in spite of having absorbed much the
greatest devastation of all, from Nazi Germany; rose astonishingly
from its ruin to become the sole rival to America as a world power.

This
challenge was not competitive it was systemic. Soviet Communism was a
direct threat to American hegemony in that it categorically refuted
the philosophical basis of predatory capitalism. Grounded in Marx and
Lenin it attacked Capitalism’s inherent-evils, monstrous-inequities
and flagrant-injustices that when exacerbated by speculation,
exploitation and fraud would eventually destroy it. And it promoted
world-revolution…

The
cold war required further refinement of the American Myth. Instead of
simply intervening where circumstances supposedly demanded that we
impose our-system: America now had to be the shield and the bulwark
of the sacred capitalist-system which “free-enterprise”,
magically identified with ‘democracy’ was equally to be defended.
This version held through many surrogate-confrontations in the era of
mutually assured destructions. It survived even the debacle of
Vietnam: Lasting to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

On
radio and television Americans were subjected to an unrelenting
barrage of patriotism in which American superiority was a ‘given’
and America’s self-touted courage generosity and decency were its
unchallengeable proofs.”

At
this point the artificial-crucible of the American-myth began to
crumble. ‘Y’

“The
implosion of the Soviet Union left America, in its own terms, the
sole Superpower in a unipolar world, which required retooling of the
myth. The practical effect of having no doomsday-enemy, China
wouldn’t do yet, was to super-charge its element of pure
hubristic-ego. America was no loner just a defender of the free-world
from heresy: It was now by virtue of its touted exceptionalism,
required to oversee and police it: In the interests and benefit of
all!

‘Power
tends to corrupt’, said Lord Acton, and “Absolute power corrupts
absolutely”. When the only rival to American power disintegrated,
our ruling-elite saw the opportunity for the first time in history
for one country to absolutely dominate and control the world.

This
consensus was expressed in a policy statement by major hard
right-wing political players titled “The Project for A New American
Century”. This triumphal manifesto laid out a plan for absolute
American access to, and control of, essential resources and raw
materials world-wide: Guaranteed by our military and forcing
‘Full-Spectrum Dominance’.”

This
opened the door to our massive reshuffle of puppet-regimes in the
Middle-East and the current opening of Africa to drone-wars, just
declared on 34 African nations: This added to the lengthening list of
the many nations that we are already at war with—behind the main
target—The WAR on The USA, that that began with 911 and was
physically intensified on 12-12-2000. “Y”

“The
American-myth which had lost some momentum in the totally unexpected
so-called Cold-War Victory was now re-energized with a pro-active
essence and endowed with the glowing radiance of a true and for the
first time, a self-professed imperial mission. The attack on the
Towers, an unimaginable provocation was the trigger mechanism for the
explosive launch for the effort to impose that imperial-model in
practice on the world. It has been, without question, the most
spectacular failure in American miss-adventure. After a decade marked
by the waste of trillions of dollars and thousands of American
lives,” (The
current “monetary-loss” amounts officially to eleven & a half
trillion dollars that disappeared - k)
“the stunning bankruptcy of this internally burglarized nation and
a consequent ‘recession’ more fundamentally damaging than ‘the
great one’: Imperial-America has nothing to show for the
astonishing folly of its arrogant effort of overreach brought
unequivocal disasters in Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan with no end
of madness in sight.

It
is clear that the hypnotic-hold of the American-myth and the loyalty
of the people has led only to disgrace and tragedy and set a course
to inevitable decline & ruin. This ‘truth’ though entirely
mistakes the purpose of the myth. It was never intended to serve our
country or our people. It was created solely to shield buttress and
defend the financial ruling class. It has done that with complete and
astonishing success!”

WAR
is a BUSINESS

“As
a prime example of the Iraq Afghanistan Pakistan wars, to enrich the
corporate tyranny, is on a unique scale of its own: Without anything
comparable to its flagrant-obscenity and its whole long history of
war. Neither the Pentagon nor the government can account for the
billions of dollars that have vanished there.

There
is no doubt that the outrageously inflated no-bid-contracts, given to
giant-corporations with their insane guaranteed profits, much of the money
was simply stolen by, through or in spite of the military—and distributed
among thieves and accomplices. Much of it came in, in ‘bricks’ on huge
pallets; for convenience presumably. As this wholesale robbery was in-progress,
under military-oversight abroad: The corporate-tyranny evolved a new set
of impenetrably complex-devices for the generation of money without any
economically productive source or ‘result’ at home.

The
sole driving force of Capitalism is, of course, the realization of
profit. According to that iron-calculus: Reducing production-costs
increases profit margins. This leads to the obvious conclusion that
as production costs near zero, profit is maximized. There is no
provision for ‘social-good’ in Capitalist-theory. Corporations,
created to optimize commercial-opportunities, thru
efficient-specialization, were originally required to ‘operate for
public-good’ ­ but that provision was quickly finessed and
forgotten.

American
law-courts have always favored Corporate concentrations of wealth and
since they, like the congress, existed to serve moneyed interests: And
the judiciary has consistently-cooperated in ‘ruling’ reliably for corporations
and against the interests of the people. Indeed without considering the
question in-law, the Supreme Court long ago endowed Corporations with
‘personhood’: That is with all the rights of human beings under our constitution.
That this tragedy occurred as a slip-shod clerical error shows that the
court preferred to mask this perversion of the intent of the Fourteenth
Amendment as ‘an unexamined assumption’ rather than risk an eventual test
which would have created public outrage.

Given
the collusion of congress and the courts in securing the legal
invulnerability for the corporate-tyranny, and the fact that the
corporation’s only duty is maximization of profit: It was
inevitable that mega-banks, hugebrokerage
houses, giant conglomerates, gilded hedge-funds and credit agencies
pretending to certify their work; all engaged in massive criminal
fraud and deception for just that purpose…” (1)
